Topic: carb insulator alignment on a CB750KO

[kbart1]

hey guys

i am about to put my carb rack back on my KO. i know it is important to have the insulators aligned JUST RIGHT so the carbs sit level. is there any tricks to doing this or just eyeball is good enough? last time i eyeballed it the air cleaner boots seemed to not mate with the carbs correctly, it was suggested my carb insulators may not have been exactly level. any thoughts?

thx

I use a straight edge.

kbart1,

What worked for me with my K6 was to hold the carbs up against the insulators and make sure the tops of the insulators were touching all 4 carbs.  Then it was a matter of just angling the carbs up and getting the bottom of the carbs started into the insulators.  Once the bottoms were in, I pulled the carbs up and into the top of the insulators.  Also, I used NEW Honda insulators.

Hope this helps

Make sure clamps at head end are very loose and a bit of oil smeared around carb spigot, and rubber, will make a huge difference.. Good luck..
